View Images in Mutt

My favorite email application is mutt. This is because of all the features mutt is offering. But since I receive regularly pictures via email and mutt can’t display them I was looking for an alternative. During the last weeks I found a way to display Pictures inside of mutt without the need of opening an extra window with the help of w3mimgdisplay, the picture-viewer of mutt.

Set up to display images

First you need an w3m-Installation which is enabled to show pictures. All big distributions should offer one:
“`
aptitude install w3m-img
”’
Now you need an script that calls w3mimgdisplay.
